A few miles up the road, the party came upon a pre war ranch. There were dozens of wrecked cars, trucks and farm machinery scattered around the yard. There was the skeleton of a house, partially collapsed long ago, and a barn that was mostly still standing.

Areas that had once been gardens were overgrown with all manner of plants. The fields had returned to mostly natural prairie, with grass and herbs up to waist height, and the occasional thicket of trees and shrubs.

K4TY couldn't detect any threats, though somewhere in the distance there was a weird gobbling sound.
